Inputs and Outputs
- 2x input card slots, users may choose input cards of the following types:
- 4K input card: 4× HDMI 2.0, 4x DP 1.2, 4x 12G-SDI
- 8K input card: 2x HDMI 2.1, 2× DP 1.4
- Authentic 12bit video input (12bit/10bit/8bit supported)
- Supports real-time previewing and monitoring of the video source input and LED screen display status.
- 2x output card slots
- MX_4x10G_Fiber output card: Work with CVT10 fiber converter to achieve 1G transmission (capable of loading 650,000 pixels in a single Ethernet cable).
- Supports frame rates of up to 360 Hz (max frame rate is decided by the screen’s hardware configuration).
Advanced Features
- Multi-LayerA single output card supports up to 4x layers or the entire device supports up to 8x 4K layers.Each layer supports 4 scaling modes: custom, pixel to pixel, snap to canvas, and fill screen.
- Layer RoamingSupports cross-card output of layers within the screen.
- Color ReplacementReplace any color in the image with another color without affecting other colors. It is recommended to choose color with higher saturation for replacement to achieve better outcome.
- 14Ch Color CorrectionSupports precise adjustment to the hue, saturation, and brightness of the 12 standard colors derived from the three primary colors (RGB) and black and white.
- Color CurvesSupports adjustment to the RGBW curves of the screen.
- 3D LUTUse the 3D LUT file (.cube) with an accuracy of 17×17×17 to adjust the colors of the video source.
- Full-Grayscale CalibrationWork with NovaStar’s high-precision calibration system and the C3200 scientific grade camera to generate unique calibration coefficients for each grayscale, ensuring uniformity of each grayscale and dramatically improving the image quality.
- 3DWork with the receiving card that supports 3D function, the 3D emitter and 3D glasses to bring a fascinating and immersive 3D viewing experience.
- HDR
- Supports HDR10 and comply with the SMPTE ST 2084 and SMPTE ST 2086 standards.
- Supports HLG.
- Latency
- Different layers can have different latency settings. The minimum processing latency of the LED display controller is reduced to 0-frame (less than 1 ms), achieving low latency without reducing the load.
- Supports additional latency. Users can choose to add zero to two frames of latency.
- Frame Rate AdaptiveAdjusts the display effects for varying frame rates range from 23.98 Hz to 360 Hz, ensuring that the max brightness and color temperature remain consistent at different frame rates.
- Frame Multiplication
- Frame interpolation: Outputs images that are captured from multiple shooting angles with different backgrounds at the same time. Solid green backgrounds can also be inserted to allow for easy post-production adjustments.
- Frequency multiplication: Supports high frame rates of up to 360 Hz. This feature is to accommodate multi-angle camera shooting to improve the screen performance under the camera.
- Shutter FitAutomatically adjusts the driver IC parameters according to the camera shutter angle to fix problems of black lines, grayscale addition, and grayscale loss during camera shooting in xR scenarios.
Device Controls
- LCD touch panelEquipped with a 5-inch touchscreen, which is responsive, sturdy and durable. Users can easily give commands with a gentle touch, making the operation effortless.
- Cascading control via EthernetThe Gigabit Ethernet control ports support TCP/IP and star topology. No switch or router is needed to deploy multiple devices on the same LAN via device cascading as the network switching function is already built in.
- VMP software controlThe device can be connected to the VMP software to provide easy and convenient operations and smart device management.
- Supports the SNMP and Art-Net protocols.
- Automated system monitoring and alarmHardware monitoring capabilities that encompass fan speed, module temperatures, voltage levels, and operational status. It automatically detects and reports any device faults or alarm information, ensuring the stable and secure operation of the LED display system.
- Device backup
- Hot backup between devices.
- Hot backup between output cards.
